Just before dawn is reeaaally overrated, and boooooring!!
If you want a good camp slasher then track down Ruggero Deodato's
'Camping del terrore' AKA: Bodycount.
There is region 2 dvd release for this movie but be warned it is severly cut, if you want my advice, go to ebay and buy yourself the unrated version, you won't be disapointed!

Im going to try and get body count unrated. My fav summer camp slasher is the burning. I was ****ed out my head on happy pills the first time i saw it and it scared the shit outta me. I heard the japanese version is so much more graphic than the uncut U.S & U.K version
Yeah the burning is real good, although there are some slow scenes. But the exquisite gore makes up for that. I saw the burning only a couple of years back and was quite amazed how good the movie was. It was kinda a classic i had never seen. (I've been a horroracholic from since i was a child.)
But please be sure to track down Bodycount Uncensored. You won't be disappointed i swear! and let me know what you thought about it! and besides it was made by Ruggero 'Cannibal Holocaust' Deodato, so what do you have to loose...?

Can someone help me. Is The burning set for a double disk release anytime soon. Ive seen some double disk copies on ebay from £50 to £70. Is it worth bidding on or will a new release come out ?
From Fangoria:
"Fango has learned that MGM Home Entertainment has a whole batch of horror titles coming on DVD September 11 for the Halloween season, among them two of the year’s most eagerly awaited restorations/special editions. One is the director’s cut of Stuart Gordon’s FROM BEYOND that premiered last year on the high-definition channel Monsters HD (see our previous report here), with a Gordon commentary and other extras to be announced. The other is the uncut version of the 1981 slasher film THE BURNING, an early credit for Miramax’s Harvey and Bob Weinstein as well as actors Jason Alexander, Holly Hunter, Fisher Stevens et al. That movie will be presented in a remastered hi-def widescreen transfer with all of Tom Savini’s gory FX intact, accompanied by commentary by director Tony Maylam and a featurette including a Savini interview and behind-the-scenes footage of his gory handiwork."
Hope that helps!
